What is hard water?

Hard water is water which contains a high level of minerals. It forms when water percolates through deposits of dolomite, chalk and limestone, where calcium and magnesium levels are high. Although it’s not bad to drink hard water, it does become a huge problem when it is used in appliances, or used for washing one’s hair. It is also a particularly problematic to systems such as cooling towers and boilers, where the damage can prove costly. It is for this reason that water softeners are used to avoid such damage.

How hard water damages home and office appliances

Ever looked at the inside of your electric kettle or coffee machine? Chances are you have probably noticed some white stuff building up, which doesn’t come off with regular cleaning. This is limescale and over time it begins to erode the elements that are used to heat the water inside the kettle or water heater. As this erosion continues, it damages the appliance, eventually leading to it to becoming faulty not working at all or. In this instance, the appliance usually has to be replaced.
